WEBVTT - Famous People On Facebook

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.739
<v Speaker 1>High Scrollers is produced on Gadigal land.

0:00:02.940 --> 0:00:05.279
<v Speaker 2>We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>country and elders past and present.

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.250
<v Speaker 1>Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

0:00:10.270 --> 0:00:14.630
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to know one of the funniest things

0:00:14.710 --> 0:00:19.130
<v Speaker 2>about Facebook, which I don't use very often, but recently

0:00:19.390 --> 0:00:22.090
<v Speaker 2>I jumped back over. My Facebook app on my phone

0:00:22.270 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is just logged into my Facebook page for Alright Hey,

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.730
<v Speaker 2>but my personal Facebook. I rarely use. I use Messenger

0:00:28.910 --> 0:00:29.630
<v Speaker 2>to message people.

0:00:29.810 --> 0:00:30.190
<v Speaker 1>Me too.

0:00:30.350 --> 0:00:32.350
<v Speaker 2>Funnily enough, one of the things about me and Britt

0:00:32.430 --> 0:00:35.970
<v Speaker 2>is we never text. No. Like we never text. We

0:00:36.170 --> 0:00:38.490
<v Speaker 2>only Facebook Messenger. That's our form of communication.

0:00:38.510 --> 0:00:41.930
<v Speaker 1>I hate when people text me because I am like

0:00:42.150 --> 0:00:46.070
<v Speaker 1>a Facebook Messenger. That's how I communicate with everyone or

0:00:46.170 --> 0:00:50.020
<v Speaker 1>Instagram DMs. I get pissed off when someone texts me.

0:00:51.060 --> 0:00:54.060
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, no, but you're on WhatsApp, Gay J,

0:00:54.100 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>so that's fine. So like our form of communication is

0:00:57.380 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>We have WhatsApp. That's where we talk to like the

0:00:59.500 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>scrollers team, Nova. And then Messenger is where I talk

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.339
<v Speaker 1>to everyone. Yeah. Then if anyone texts me, I get

0:01:06.380 --> 0:01:07.940
<v Speaker 1>pissed off. I'm like, can you send me a message

0:01:07.980 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook?

0:01:08.819 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:09.620 --> 0:01:11.250
<v Speaker 1>Even though it's like the same thing.

0:01:11.270 --> 0:01:11.619
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:11.690 --> 0:01:14.610
<v Speaker 1>Like I exclusively talk to AJ on Facebook. It's just

0:01:14.650 --> 0:01:17.170
<v Speaker 1>like the way that I have always spoken to everyone.

0:01:17.230 --> 0:01:20.010
<v Speaker 2>So when I don't need Britt to see something urgently,

0:01:20.150 --> 0:01:22.950
<v Speaker 2>I text her. So for example, there was something a

0:01:22.990 --> 0:01:24.310
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago that I had to text her about,

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>but I knew you were on a shoot for Fate.

0:01:27.030 --> 0:01:29.169
<v Speaker 2>doing something somewhere. So I knew you were busy. So

0:01:29.209 --> 0:01:30.530
<v Speaker 2>I sent you a text because I know it's your

0:01:30.550 --> 0:01:31.190
<v Speaker 2>second priority.

0:01:31.230 --> 0:01:33.929
<v Speaker 1>I think the reason why I like, number one, the

0:01:33.970 --> 0:01:36.930
<v Speaker 1>reason why I use Messenger is because I always have,

0:01:37.030 --> 0:01:39.110
<v Speaker 1>you know how some people like have always messaged their

0:01:39.130 --> 0:01:42.810
<v Speaker 1>friends on Snapchat. Yeah. So that's where the conversation lies. Yeah.

0:01:43.250 --> 0:01:46.390
<v Speaker 1>I've always messaged people on Facebook, but I also think

0:01:46.490 --> 0:01:48.310
<v Speaker 1>I like the fact that you can see if they're

0:01:48.370 --> 0:01:51.370
<v Speaker 1>online or if they've seen your message and like the

0:01:51.410 --> 0:01:52.170
<v Speaker 1>profile picture.

0:01:52.270 --> 0:01:53.090
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Yeah.

0:01:53.780 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Whereas the texts, I don't know. I don't save anyone's number.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.059
<v Speaker 1>If you fucking text me, I'm not saving your number.

0:02:00.700 --> 0:02:03.220
<v Speaker 1>Like I just can't be bothered with contacts and messages.

0:02:04.180 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fair enough.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.290
<v Speaker 1>So I'm a Facebook girly through and through. But I

0:02:08.370 --> 0:02:12.310
<v Speaker 1>reckon I wouldn't have Facebook as a social media platform

0:02:13.010 --> 0:02:15.510
<v Speaker 1>if it wasn't for I need it to run our

0:02:15.910 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>fate ads and I need it to run our Facebook group,

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.270
<v Speaker 1>Fate Society. Yeah. Like that's the only reason that I

0:02:24.290 --> 0:02:27.410
<v Speaker 1>have Facebook. Otherwise, I reckon I'd get rid of it. Yes,

0:02:27.450 --> 0:02:27.910
<v Speaker 1>Gay J?

0:02:28.210 --> 0:02:28.570
<v Speaker 2>I forgot.

0:02:28.590 --> 0:02:29.610
<v Speaker 3>I have something for you today.

0:02:30.270 --> 0:02:30.390
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:02:30.510 --> 0:02:30.750
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:31.250 --> 0:02:31.850
<v Speaker 1>Like a present?

0:02:31.910 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 3>We have been getting so many DMs and emails lately.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:35.630
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yes.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.700
<v Speaker 3>And someone has written in about hypnotism. Oh.

0:02:39.780 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 4>And I thought I'd send you their email and you

0:02:43.100 --> 0:02:44.940
<v Speaker 4>can read it out because it's super interesting.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.540
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Let's do it. Send it to us. Send it

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.620
<v Speaker 2>and Brittany can read it out. But before we get there,

0:02:49.710 --> 0:02:50.850
<v Speaker 2>just still on Facebook.

0:02:51.090 --> 0:02:51.829
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I'm.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I went on my personal Facebook for the first time

0:02:54.590 --> 0:02:56.669
<v Speaker 2>in a really, really long time. And of course I like,

0:02:56.710 --> 0:03:00.130
<v Speaker 2>haven't accepted a friend request on Facebook in years. So

0:03:00.150 --> 0:03:04.350
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago when I would use Facebook religiously

0:03:04.389 --> 0:03:06.669
<v Speaker 2>and it was the way to communicate with everybody. Cause

0:03:06.710 --> 0:03:08.790
<v Speaker 2>you know, back in the day, you wouldn't really DM

0:03:08.830 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>people on Instagram. If you, if you met like other

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.700
<v Speaker 2>creators and stuff at events, like you'd add each other

0:03:13.740 --> 0:03:17.570
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook. Cause that was like the I don't know,

0:03:17.610 --> 0:03:20.549
<v Speaker 2>like following each other on Instagram, like you wouldn't message there.

0:03:20.590 --> 0:03:22.389
<v Speaker 2>If you actually wanted a friendship and you actually wanted

0:03:22.410 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk to people, it would have to be on Facebook.

0:03:25.190 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 2>So back in the day, there were some very notable

0:03:28.460 --> 0:03:31.239
<v Speaker 2>people in the industry, which obviously I still have on

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.500
<v Speaker 2>Facebook now, which is hilarious because a lot of the

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.180
<v Speaker 2>people who I no longer follow on Instagram, maybe they're

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.820
<v Speaker 2>creators who no longer post, maybe they've been cancelled, blah, blah, blah.

0:03:40.060 --> 0:03:43.180
<v Speaker 2>I still have them on Facebook. I also have big

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.590
<v Speaker 2>YouTubers that I met in my travels to America and

0:03:48.190 --> 0:03:51.860
<v Speaker 2>things like that. And so basically my Facebook, I actually

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:57.380
<v Speaker 2>have quote unquote celebrities like on Facebook and obviously celebs

0:03:57.460 --> 0:04:02.580
<v Speaker 2>who have Facebook more often than not also have other

0:04:02.620 --> 0:04:07.620
<v Speaker 2>celebs on Facebook as friends. And because they're mutual friends,

0:04:08.220 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>sometimes they get suggested to me. And obviously I, I'm

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.740
<v Speaker 2>never on Facebook, but I just went on not long ago.

0:04:14.860 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>And let me tell you, also, I caught up on

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>so much. One of my friends from high school's just

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.230
<v Speaker 2>had a baby, didn't even know that they were pregnant. Well,

0:04:21.430 --> 0:04:23.229
<v Speaker 2>the baby's here. So that's how long ago I was

0:04:23.290 --> 0:04:26.490
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook. I got engagement posts. People have been married.

0:04:26.930 --> 0:04:29.650
<v Speaker 2>The birthdays, I never know anyone's birthday. Oh, neither.

0:04:29.710 --> 0:04:32.010
<v Speaker 1>If it wasn't for Facebook, I wouldn't fucking know anyone's birthday.

0:04:32.050 --> 0:04:34.789
<v Speaker 1>But on that, like people, you didn't even know they

0:04:34.810 --> 0:04:36.990
<v Speaker 1>were pregnant and then they had a baby. What is

0:04:37.029 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>with this phenomenon that like sometimes I swear people are

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.260
<v Speaker 1>pregnant and it feels like they're pregnant for years. But

0:04:44.300 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 1>then other people get pregnant and you didn't even know.

0:04:47.060 --> 0:04:47.140
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:47.220 --> 0:04:48.180
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I mean?

0:04:48.470 --> 0:04:50.690
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And I wonder if people who are pregnant feel

0:04:50.710 --> 0:04:52.250
<v Speaker 1>that same way. Like, do they feel like they've been

0:04:52.270 --> 0:04:54.130
<v Speaker 1>pregnant for what feels like two years?

0:04:54.190 --> 0:04:54.490
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:54.710 --> 0:04:56.330
<v Speaker 1>And do others feel like it went so quick?

0:04:56.430 --> 0:04:57.810
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think some people would be like, hurry up

0:04:57.830 --> 0:04:59.230
<v Speaker 2>and get this baby out of me. And other people

0:04:59.250 --> 0:05:01.010
<v Speaker 2>would be like, oh, I'm not ready yet. You know,

0:05:01.029 --> 0:05:02.850
<v Speaker 2>like it would be just one of those things, whether you're,

0:05:03.350 --> 0:05:07.810
<v Speaker 2>whether you're personal, like it's just you personally of, of

0:05:07.910 --> 0:05:11.130
<v Speaker 2>how you feel. But anyway, the funniest part is I am,

0:05:11.810 --> 0:05:14.300
<v Speaker 2>I was on my personal Facebook and I was seeing

0:05:14.650 --> 0:05:17.589
<v Speaker 2>all these celebs. And it was telling me who mutual

0:05:17.630 --> 0:05:19.650
<v Speaker 2>friends with. And, you know, there's some people that are

0:05:19.770 --> 0:05:22.460
<v Speaker 2>more so in like traditional media that I'm friends with

0:05:22.580 --> 0:05:26.339
<v Speaker 2>and on Facebook. And it was just hilarious because I

0:05:26.380 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>could see newsreaders in Australia, their personal Facebook. I saw

0:05:32.220 --> 0:05:36.990
<v Speaker 2>NRL players and their personal Facebook. I even saw massive

0:05:37.370 --> 0:05:39.570
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood celebs, which I'm not going to like name any

0:05:39.610 --> 0:05:41.490
<v Speaker 2>of these people. I know it's not really a name

0:05:41.529 --> 0:05:46.849
<v Speaker 2>and shame, but, you know, I obviously like, okay. For example,

0:05:47.170 --> 0:05:50.490
<v Speaker 2>and this isn't one that I saw, but like, let's

0:05:50.529 --> 0:05:54.610
<v Speaker 2>just say it was Nicole Kidman. But then the Facebook

0:05:54.670 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 2>profile is a picture of Nicole Kidman, right? But like

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:03.180
<v Speaker 2>the name is like Nick Kid. So the names would

0:06:03.220 --> 0:06:05.780
<v Speaker 2>come up and like, obviously I'd recognize the faces.

0:06:06.060 --> 0:06:06.380
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:06.779 --> 0:06:07.860
<v Speaker 2>I saw some of the wiggles.

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:07.950
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:06:08.650 --> 0:06:12.650
<v Speaker 2>Are a mutual friend of mine. Um, and yeah, I

0:06:12.670 --> 0:06:14.730
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I just think like, that's like an interesting

0:06:14.790 --> 0:06:17.950
<v Speaker 2>thing that like maybe our scholars have like never thought about,

0:06:18.110 --> 0:06:20.100
<v Speaker 2>or I just found it kind of funny that I

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.580
<v Speaker 2>was like, so some of them are on private, obviously

0:06:22.620 --> 0:06:25.660
<v Speaker 2>like the big Hollywood, the big Hollywood actress, which again,

0:06:25.700 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't Nicole Kidman, but I'm just using her as

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.230
<v Speaker 2>an example. Like, um, the Nicole Kidman was on private.

0:06:31.290 --> 0:06:34.350
<v Speaker 2>Like I couldn't see anything. My thing is like, if I.

0:06:34.290 --> 0:06:36.050
<v Speaker 1>Was a celebrity that big, I don't think I would

0:06:36.089 --> 0:06:36.990
<v Speaker 1>have Facebook at all.

0:06:37.050 --> 0:06:37.670
<v Speaker 2>Just period.

0:06:37.690 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I'd have a, Or a fake profile, but then

0:06:40.460 --> 0:06:43.100
<v Speaker 1>maybe they are religious Facebook messenger users and that's how

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>they talk to everyone.

0:06:44.180 --> 0:06:48.410
<v Speaker 2>But then some of them who are big celebs, big musicians,

0:06:48.470 --> 0:06:51.650
<v Speaker 2>things like that, I was looking at their Facebook profile

0:06:51.670 --> 0:06:53.530
<v Speaker 2>and it's fully on public, even though they're kind of

0:06:53.630 --> 0:06:56.770
<v Speaker 2>incognito with either the name that they're under on Facebook

0:06:56.850 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 2>or things like that. And I could see them just

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.470
<v Speaker 2>like celebrating Christmas. But then, like, if you went to

0:07:03.510 --> 0:07:05.930
<v Speaker 2>their Instagram, none of those photos are on Instagram. Like,

0:07:05.950 --> 0:07:08.410
<v Speaker 2>it's all for personal friends and family, but I could

0:07:08.450 --> 0:07:08.799
<v Speaker 2>see them.

0:07:08.980 --> 0:07:10.060
<v Speaker 1>They need to check their settings.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.740
<v Speaker 2>And it's just, I mean, it's not my place to

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>expose or share, like, any specific names or anything, but

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I just think, scrollers, it's hilarious for you to know

0:07:19.220 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>that I am lurking, like, A-list celebrities on Facebook thanks

0:07:24.020 --> 0:07:27.180
<v Speaker 2>to the friends that I have on Facebook. And it

0:07:27.220 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>was just a little fun little tidbit that I came

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.260
<v Speaker 2>across over the weekend and I was like, I want

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to share this on the podcast just to be like,

0:07:34.420 --> 0:07:36.059
<v Speaker 2>just so you all know, I'm not telling you anything,

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.580
<v Speaker 2>but also just so you all know, I'm stalking A-list

0:07:39.620 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>celebrities on Facebook and it is so fun.

0:07:41.990 --> 0:07:43.370
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:07:51.230 --> 0:07:52.430
<v Speaker 2>Right, what's this email we've got?

0:07:52.830 --> 0:07:54.470
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, let me read this out.

0:07:54.530 --> 0:07:56.110

0:07:56.210 --> 0:07:57.790
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I'll read the first one.

0:07:58.230 --> 0:07:59.790
<v Speaker 2>So this is on hypnotism. So a couple of weeks

0:07:59.810 --> 0:08:02.990
<v Speaker 2>ago we did a, We did a podcast episode. And

0:08:03.190 --> 0:08:04.410
<v Speaker 2>a prank. A prank.

0:08:04.630 --> 0:08:06.070
<v Speaker 1>Wait, was that that episode?

0:08:06.290 --> 0:08:06.530
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:06.590 --> 0:08:06.869
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:08:07.110 --> 0:08:07.370
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:07.510 --> 0:08:09.489
<v Speaker 1>The hypnotism one. Yeah. Oh, okay.

0:08:09.870 --> 0:08:12.150
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about hypnotism and we were saying that

0:08:12.190 --> 0:08:15.010
<v Speaker 2>we weren't sure whether it was real or not and

0:08:15.130 --> 0:08:16.660
<v Speaker 2>I was a bit scared to ever do hypnotism.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about like group hypnotism on stage and

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.460
<v Speaker 1>how do people do that. So we've got a message

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:27.380
<v Speaker 1>here and it says, Hi Matt, Brittany and AJ.

0:08:28.260 --> 0:08:31.210
<v Speaker 2>We need to... Address the elephant in the room.

0:08:31.230 --> 0:08:33.429
<v Speaker 1>We need to address the elephant in the room. When

0:08:33.510 --> 0:08:37.020
<v Speaker 1>you hear this voice in our episodes.

0:08:37.260 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Hello.

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.370
<v Speaker 1>That is not AJ. That is Gay Jay, the gay

0:08:43.450 --> 0:08:44.550
<v Speaker 1>version of AJ.

0:08:44.570 --> 0:08:44.950
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:45.050 --> 0:08:48.310
<v Speaker 3>Who said I'm gay? Imagine.

0:08:48.910 --> 0:08:50.790
<v Speaker 1>I reckon people think it's AJ.

0:08:50.970 --> 0:08:51.380
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:52.300 --> 0:08:54.860
<v Speaker 1>Which actually just makes it so much more funny. I know.

0:08:54.900 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 4>Imagine AJ coming in on the last Close Friends and

0:08:57.500 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 4>being like, yeah, Ariana Grande.

0:09:00.940 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, hey, Matt, Britt and AJ, love your work and

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.820
<v Speaker 1>was at Matt's Melbourne show, loved it. A good friend

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.479
<v Speaker 1>of mine who is also a working actor slash comedian

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.030
<v Speaker 1>that will play into the story later was invited to

0:09:14.050 --> 0:09:18.310
<v Speaker 1>a televised hypnotism. Him and a bunch or other people,

0:09:18.590 --> 0:09:22.850
<v Speaker 1>of other volunteers were selected for a group hypnotism on stage.

0:09:23.350 --> 0:09:26.110
<v Speaker 1>Before the show, they were all led into a green

0:09:26.170 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>room where, ahem, alcohol was free and available for them.

0:09:31.980 --> 0:09:36.500
<v Speaker 1>A time later, a producer came into the room and

0:09:36.540 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>made an announcement. I'll never forget what my friend told

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.420
<v Speaker 1>me he said. Okay, everyone, remember this is TV. The

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.500
<v Speaker 1>audience is here to see a show. It's fun, so

0:09:46.580 --> 0:09:50.220
<v Speaker 1>go along with it. Let's just have a good time. Now,

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.939
<v Speaker 1>this is back in the 90s when free-to-air TV was

0:09:52.980 --> 0:09:55.790
<v Speaker 1>a lot like this. They all had these gimmick type

0:09:55.809 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of shows like Crossing Over, etc. My friend being an

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.300
<v Speaker 1>actor slash comedian took it to it so easily. Was

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he hypnotized? Well, he wasn't. Can't say anything for everybody

0:10:10.100 --> 0:10:14.190
<v Speaker 1>else or if they were aspiring actors as well. But

0:10:14.230 --> 0:10:16.790
<v Speaker 1>that's the only one story. But I hope you found

0:10:16.830 --> 0:10:18.550
<v Speaker 1>that interesting or the best.

0:10:19.010 --> 0:10:21.670
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so backstage before the show, they've gone, Rado, let's

0:10:21.730 --> 0:10:24.990
<v Speaker 2>just play along. Interesting.

0:10:25.190 --> 0:10:29.469
<v Speaker 1>And now we've got an email. Hey guys. So I

0:10:29.650 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was hypnotized before and can vouch. I was hypnotized and

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.059
<v Speaker 1>did a number of embarrassing things that I would have

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.260
<v Speaker 1>never done in front of 500 people. I was the

0:10:39.380 --> 0:10:42.300
<v Speaker 1>lead guitar player of a rock band. I was in

0:10:42.340 --> 0:10:45.380
<v Speaker 1>a horse race. I would do different things when different

0:10:45.420 --> 0:10:48.310
<v Speaker 1>songs came on. He also told the crowd, you can

0:10:48.470 --> 0:10:51.490
<v Speaker 1>only be hypnotized if you want to be. If your

0:10:51.830 --> 0:10:56.110
<v Speaker 1>skeptical chances are it won't work. Out of the eight

0:10:56.130 --> 0:10:58.870
<v Speaker 1>of us that went up, only five of us were hypnotized.

0:10:59.190 --> 0:11:01.350
<v Speaker 1>When he brought us back, I instantly went red as

0:11:01.410 --> 0:11:03.860
<v Speaker 1>a tomato and realized what I had just done. It's

0:11:03.890 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like you were drunk and everyone is standing still frozen.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Great experience. Love you guys.

0:11:09.380 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 3>That freaks me out.

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.420
<v Speaker 1>Like, I just, I don't get it. I know we

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.110
<v Speaker 1>ask people to email in their experience, but I'm still like, how?

0:11:20.530 --> 0:11:23.230
<v Speaker 4>But don't you find it interesting with the like actors

0:11:23.270 --> 0:11:26.010
<v Speaker 4>and comedians, aspiring actors and comedians, and then they were like,

0:11:26.610 --> 0:11:28.370
<v Speaker 4>put on a show, guys, put on a show.

0:11:28.850 --> 0:11:30.810
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I understand that.

0:11:30.890 --> 0:11:31.110
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:11:31.170 --> 0:11:33.429
<v Speaker 1>Like, but then actually just randomly getting pulled up, like

0:11:33.450 --> 0:11:35.030
<v Speaker 1>if you're at the pub and there's like a hypnotist

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>show and you fully get hypnotized, I just still don't

0:11:39.460 --> 0:11:40.010
<v Speaker 1>buy it.

0:11:42.350 --> 0:11:43.809
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's one of those things where like

0:11:43.850 --> 0:11:46.490
<v Speaker 2>unless it happens to you, you just will never know.

0:11:46.630 --> 0:11:48.350
<v Speaker 2>And unfortunately, I never want it to happen to me

0:11:48.370 --> 0:11:49.510
<v Speaker 2>because that's scary as.

0:11:49.730 --> 0:11:51.510
<v Speaker 1>The vibes in the room have changed, guys. There's been

0:11:51.530 --> 0:11:54.370
<v Speaker 1>an energy shift.

0:11:54.630 --> 0:11:57.030
<v Speaker 3>Matt, are you watching Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip?

0:11:57.630 --> 0:11:57.809
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:11:58.110 --> 0:11:58.390
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:11:58.410 --> 0:12:01.109
<v Speaker 4>Have you seen the episode in New York where they've

0:12:01.130 --> 0:12:03.590
<v Speaker 4>got a hypnotist on? It was last week's episode.

0:12:03.630 --> 0:12:03.990
<v Speaker 2>Not yet.

0:12:04.470 --> 0:12:06.890
<v Speaker 3>So on that episode, they've got a hypnotist magician.

0:12:06.950 --> 0:12:07.690
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you call them.

0:12:08.350 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 4>And he's getting the housewives up and he's going, I

0:12:10.860 --> 0:12:13.069
<v Speaker 4>want you to think of like the most like your

0:12:13.150 --> 0:12:15.290
<v Speaker 4>best friend or the person that means the most, has

0:12:15.330 --> 0:12:16.910
<v Speaker 4>the most value in your life. Think of that person

0:12:17.030 --> 0:12:18.510
<v Speaker 4>and they'll think of him. And then he turns around

0:12:18.550 --> 0:12:21.940
<v Speaker 4>a whiteboard or a blackboard with chalk and he's written

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 4>the name.

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>How?

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 4>And so he brings up Chanel Ayan, who was on

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 4>The Real Housewives of Dubai. And she's basically like, oh,

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.460
<v Speaker 4>you're never going to get this person. You're never going

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.230
<v Speaker 4>to get this person ever because it's her best friend

0:12:35.270 --> 0:12:37.850
<v Speaker 4>who passed away from her. And she comes from, I'm

0:12:38.570 --> 0:12:41.010
<v Speaker 4>not sure what country, but it's a country in Africa originally.

0:12:41.030 --> 0:12:41.110
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:12:41.590 --> 0:12:44.090
<v Speaker 4>And it was someone in her village called Ruth. And

0:12:44.130 --> 0:12:46.230
<v Speaker 4>there's no way that he could have known. Anyway, he

0:12:46.309 --> 0:12:49.710
<v Speaker 4>guests Ruth and she just crumbles. And it's just like, how, like,

0:12:49.750 --> 0:12:51.990
<v Speaker 4>how would you know that? Like, that's just, I just

0:12:52.010 --> 0:12:56.100
<v Speaker 4>can't believe that. That scares the shit out of me

0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 4>because how the hell do you, how do they find

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:00.580
<v Speaker 4>that out?

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.460
<v Speaker 1>I'm a skeptic and I'm like, that's a reality TV show.

0:13:03.660 --> 0:13:04.580
<v Speaker 1>They could have set that up.

0:13:04.660 --> 0:13:05.380
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I know.

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:10.050
<v Speaker 4>But if they didn't, like. That's crazy. Also, the Housewives

0:13:10.110 --> 0:13:13.890
<v Speaker 4>aren't that good at actors. And like, Chanel Ayaan, bless her,

0:13:13.950 --> 0:13:15.189
<v Speaker 4>I don't think she'd be a good actress.

0:13:15.230 --> 0:13:17.340
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but I don't

0:13:17.380 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>know whether she would be acting, but maybe someone fed

0:13:19.900 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 2>him the information, the name. But it's, I don't know

0:13:23.900 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 2>if you see Ash Magic. He's an Australian magician, Ash Magic.

0:13:27.100 --> 0:13:29.689
<v Speaker 2>He does videos where he's like, I bet I can

0:13:30.050 --> 0:13:32.980
<v Speaker 2>guess your best friend's name. And then he'll guess them.

0:13:33.059 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 2>But he did a video recently that was like him

0:13:35.820 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>on like Omegle or Chatroulette, like one of those sorts

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of sites. And he's holding up a piece of paper,

0:13:42.100 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 2>I believe that says like, get like, think of any

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 2>person in the world. And then the girl thinks of

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.970
<v Speaker 2>someone and then he turns the paper around and that

0:13:53.020 --> 0:13:55.970
<v Speaker 2>name is written on it. And I was like, how

0:13:56.050 --> 0:13:59.170
<v Speaker 2>has he done that? Let me see if I can

0:13:59.230 --> 0:13:59.690
<v Speaker 2>find the video.

0:13:59.770 --> 0:14:02.860
<v Speaker 1>I feel like magicians I get because I know it's

0:14:02.890 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a trick and an illusion.

0:14:04.380 --> 0:14:04.620
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Whereas the hypnotism is what gets me.

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 2>This isn't the one I saw, but let's have a

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.980
<v Speaker 2>look at this. Say any celebrity. I've seen you on

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.470
<v Speaker 2>TikTok before. This is weird.

0:14:14.660 --> 0:14:15.750
<v Speaker 1>Have you? Yeah, I have.

0:14:15.970 --> 0:14:20.590
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Cardi B. And he turns around and it's Cardi B.

0:14:21.270 --> 0:14:22.930
<v Speaker 1>But that could be fake and set up too.

0:14:23.420 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, what I don't get is like he turns

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the paper around instantly. As soon as he says Cardi B,

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.870
<v Speaker 2>he turns it around. Like there's no cuts. There's no nothing.

0:14:30.430 --> 0:14:34.030
<v Speaker 2>And the guy's reaction seems genuine. I'm like, how's that going? Like,

0:14:34.090 --> 0:14:37.010
<v Speaker 2>how's that happening? Because all the videos I've seen of

0:14:37.050 --> 0:14:40.490
<v Speaker 2>him doing that, like I don't, they don't give actor.

0:14:40.710 --> 0:14:43.690
<v Speaker 2>They don't, they don't give like their acting. I just

0:14:43.730 --> 0:14:45.110
<v Speaker 2>don't understand how that happens.

0:14:45.570 --> 0:14:46.030
<v Speaker 1>Crazy.

0:14:46.630 --> 0:14:48.610
<v Speaker 2>And what's annoying is I wish they would reveal. Remember

0:14:48.630 --> 0:14:50.290
<v Speaker 2>that show that was like on channel seven back in

0:14:50.310 --> 0:14:52.470
<v Speaker 2>the day and it was like, it was, I can't

0:14:52.490 --> 0:14:55.220
<v Speaker 2>remember what it was called, but it was about revealing

0:14:55.270 --> 0:14:58.180
<v Speaker 2>the magician's tricks. And remember he was all dressed in

0:14:58.220 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>black with like a skull kind of mask on. Can

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.500
<v Speaker 2>you please go Google girl, like revealing magician's tricks, Australia,

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.850
<v Speaker 2>and we'll figure out what this was called. But I

0:15:08.890 --> 0:15:12.750
<v Speaker 2>was so fascinated by that because all of the biggest like, um,

0:15:12.830 --> 0:15:14.770
<v Speaker 2>tricks of like how they go into a box over here,

0:15:14.790 --> 0:15:16.369
<v Speaker 2>but then they appear over on the other side of

0:15:16.390 --> 0:15:18.650
<v Speaker 2>the stage. Like, how does that happen? They would actually

0:15:19.050 --> 0:15:20.740
<v Speaker 2>uncover all of that. What was it called?

0:15:21.420 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 4>It was called Breaking the Magician's Code, Magic's Biggest Secrets

0:15:24.700 --> 0:15:25.620
<v Speaker 4>Finally Revealed.

0:15:25.710 --> 0:15:27.450
<v Speaker 2>Fuck, that's a long title for a show.

0:15:27.650 --> 0:15:31.290
<v Speaker 4>Val Valentino was the host. The masked magician who exposed

0:15:31.330 --> 0:15:31.870
<v Speaker 4>the secrets.

0:15:31.870 --> 0:15:34.970
<v Speaker 3>12 episodes.

0:15:36.790 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 2>The masked magician, he like... wore all black and like

0:15:39.940 --> 0:15:42.180
<v Speaker 2>wore this like kind of scary white. Yeah.

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:42.420
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>It was like very eerie and very scary. Oh, I

0:15:44.820 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>don't like it actually. All the like big, like David

0:15:47.100 --> 0:15:50.740
<v Speaker 2>Copperfield kind of like, you know, big stage magician acts

0:15:50.780 --> 0:15:52.660
<v Speaker 2>where like they go in one box and appear in

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.140
<v Speaker 2>another box over the other side of the stage. Like

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:55.380
<v Speaker 2>how do they do it?

0:15:55.420 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Like this is how.

0:15:55.970 --> 0:15:57.310
<v Speaker 1>And they would unpack how it's done. Yeah.

0:15:57.330 --> 0:15:58.930
<v Speaker 2>They would show you exactly how it works.

0:15:58.970 --> 0:16:01.450
<v Speaker 1>But that's how I like, I believe, I don't believe

0:16:01.490 --> 0:16:03.730
<v Speaker 1>in magic, but I know that it's a trick and

0:16:03.790 --> 0:16:04.510
<v Speaker 1>an illusion.

0:16:04.770 --> 0:16:05.110
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:05.250 --> 0:16:06.330
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? I know it can be

0:16:06.370 --> 0:16:08.450
<v Speaker 1>proven how they do it. But as for like the

0:16:09.210 --> 0:16:12.270
<v Speaker 1>hypnotized stuff, that's weird to me.

0:16:12.610 --> 0:16:12.990
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:13.630 --> 0:16:14.890
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to have to do some research and see

0:16:14.910 --> 0:16:15.850
<v Speaker 1>if it's been debunked.

0:16:16.550 --> 0:16:20.150
<v Speaker 2>What, hypnotism? Yep. Okay. I don't know.

0:16:20.170 --> 0:16:21.430
<v Speaker 3>Why don't I just do a little Google now and

0:16:21.450 --> 0:16:23.850
<v Speaker 3>see what happens?

0:16:23.910 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, see. See if it's been debunked. Ask like, how

0:16:27.580 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>does hypnotism work? Is hypnotism real? Like, I don't really,

0:16:33.220 --> 0:16:36.050
<v Speaker 2>I don't really understand. And I hate that I don't

0:16:36.090 --> 0:16:38.390
<v Speaker 2>understand because, you know, I love understanding things. I think

0:16:38.410 --> 0:16:43.490
<v Speaker 2>you're the same. Like we like to understand everything. And unfortunately,

0:16:43.530 --> 0:16:46.110
<v Speaker 2>hypnotism is one thing that I don't understand and I

0:16:46.170 --> 0:16:47.570
<v Speaker 2>don't like not understanding.

0:16:47.590 --> 0:16:54.390
<v Speaker 4>So it says hypnosis has not been entirely debunked, but

0:16:54.490 --> 0:16:58.790
<v Speaker 4>science has disproven many of its dramatic Hollywood-style myths while

0:16:58.850 --> 0:17:02.580
<v Speaker 4>validating it as a tool for modulating focus and maintaining

0:17:02.650 --> 0:17:07.719
<v Speaker 4>certain medical conditions. managing sorry certain medical conditions what science

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:12.300
<v Speaker 4>has been debunked mind control people under hypnosis retain their

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 4>free will remain aware and cannot be forced to act

0:17:15.780 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 4>against their personal morality or perform actions they object to

0:17:19.780 --> 0:17:21.109
<v Speaker 4>i mean that's what i was saying is that i

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.209
<v Speaker 4>don't think i was ever hypnotized i think i was

0:17:23.250 --> 0:17:25.510
<v Speaker 4>going along with it for because of the social and

0:17:25.530 --> 0:17:28.430
<v Speaker 4>the peer pressure and then you know that's how i

0:17:28.450 --> 0:17:33.260
<v Speaker 4>think they get you yeah um Do you want any

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:33.880
<v Speaker 4>more information?

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you've got more information. But I'm just going

0:17:36.340 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 2>to head to the comments on Spotify of that episode.

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Because the comments I found really, really interesting. A lot

0:17:43.260 --> 0:17:46.740
<v Speaker 2>of people were saying things like, here's one from Tia

0:17:47.230 --> 0:17:51.149
<v Speaker 2>that says, My stepdad was hypnotized to quit smoking. He

0:17:51.190 --> 0:17:53.930
<v Speaker 2>came home from the appointment craving a cigarette. He had

0:17:54.050 --> 0:17:56.650
<v Speaker 2>one and vomited everywhere. Never has had one again. This

0:17:56.670 --> 0:18:01.660
<v Speaker 2>was 15 years ago. So that's really interesting to me.

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Being hypnotized to stop doing something.

0:18:04.380 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.740
<v Speaker 1>I think that's just a placebo effect. Yeah.

0:18:06.780 --> 0:18:10.110
<v Speaker 2>But how weird that she says he came home from

0:18:10.170 --> 0:18:12.950
<v Speaker 2>the appointment of getting hypnotized and he was still craving

0:18:13.010 --> 0:18:14.490
<v Speaker 2>cigarette and he was like, all right, I'll have one.

0:18:14.570 --> 0:18:17.629
<v Speaker 2>And then he vomited from, the taste of it or whatever.

0:18:17.770 --> 0:18:18.510
<v Speaker 1>See, I believe in that.

0:18:18.530 --> 0:18:19.090
<v Speaker 2>He's never had one again.

0:18:19.109 --> 0:18:21.629
<v Speaker 1>I believe in being hypnotized to like give up smoking,

0:18:21.650 --> 0:18:24.149
<v Speaker 1>for example, and then you give it up because mentally

0:18:24.170 --> 0:18:27.530
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I've been hypnotized so I can't smoke anymore.

0:18:27.670 --> 0:18:29.870
<v Speaker 2>I've got another one saying, my godmother also got hypnotized

0:18:29.890 --> 0:18:32.290
<v Speaker 2>to quit smoking, has been 10 years, hasn't touched one.

0:18:32.670 --> 0:18:35.010
<v Speaker 2>My mum got hypnotized, this is another one, to quit

0:18:35.030 --> 0:18:37.430
<v Speaker 2>smoking 10 years ago, hasn't had one either, and dad's

0:18:37.470 --> 0:18:39.310
<v Speaker 2>a full-time smoker too. That's never been an issue.

0:18:39.350 --> 0:18:40.150
<v Speaker 1>That's a placebo.

0:18:40.850 --> 0:18:41.070
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:18:41.570 --> 0:18:41.990
<v Speaker 3>I have tea.

0:18:42.230 --> 0:18:42.410
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:18:42.710 --> 0:18:45.060
<v Speaker 4>So I asked, do people who are hypnotized and asked

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.870
<v Speaker 4>to do stupid things... And asked to do stupid things,

0:18:47.890 --> 0:18:50.790
<v Speaker 4>are they actually hypnotized? And then it comes in here.

0:18:50.810 --> 0:18:54.690
<v Speaker 4>It says, how hypnosis works. Real trance state. Hypnosis is

0:18:54.730 --> 0:18:58.260
<v Speaker 4>a legitimate psychological state of high concentration and deep relaxation

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.100
<v Speaker 4>with lowered critical awareness. And then down here, it says

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.740
<v Speaker 4>social compliance. Volunteers feel strong peer pressure and social license

0:19:06.780 --> 0:19:08.850
<v Speaker 4>to act goofy because they are on stage with an

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.450
<v Speaker 4>expectation to entertain.

0:19:11.010 --> 0:19:12.730
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like if you just do nothing, you're going to

0:19:12.770 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 1>feel like a loser. Yes. So psychologically, you feel like

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.060
<v Speaker 1>you need to go along with it.

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:18.699
<v Speaker 3>There's almost a sense of like ostracization if you don't.

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.460
<v Speaker 1>And because everyone would be laughing and you're like, everyone's

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.340
<v Speaker 1>finding this so funny, I'm just going to go along

0:19:22.380 --> 0:19:22.649
<v Speaker 1>with it.

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:22.980
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I reckon people that go get hypnotized to

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.460
<v Speaker 1>never smoke again, it's because they've had someone tell them,

0:19:29.810 --> 0:19:32.449
<v Speaker 1>you are now hypnotized, you will never smoke again, that

0:19:32.490 --> 0:19:34.490
<v Speaker 1>they feel like they need to stick to that because

0:19:34.530 --> 0:19:36.570
<v Speaker 1>they went and paid money to get hypnotized.

0:19:37.390 --> 0:19:39.430
<v Speaker 3>The power of selection. Stage hypnotists.

0:19:39.730 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Because if being hypnotized is real, like, let's use that

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:44.300
<v Speaker 1>in every day then.

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.620
<v Speaker 3>It says stage hypnotist tests large crowds.

0:19:47.690 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 4>They pick the most suggestible extroverted people who actively want

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 4>to perform. So they're looking in the crowd to be

0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.580
<v Speaker 4>like that person they're showing the signs.

0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>So they'd be looking for you.

0:19:58.700 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know anymore.

0:20:00.619 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm quite like, I'll just be like, I don't know.

0:20:05.340 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's all, yeah.

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:08.780
<v Speaker 3>But I would go along with it. I would go

0:20:08.820 --> 0:20:09.139
<v Speaker 3>along with it.

0:20:09.140 --> 0:20:10.679
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like when I went to the Magic

0:20:10.740 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Men live show and they pulled me on stage to

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:14.340
<v Speaker 2>get a lap dance.

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 3>That was hypnotism for sure.

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.859
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you felt compelled. Because I think they looked out

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>in the audience and they went, yeah, that bloke, he'd

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:23.490
<v Speaker 2>like all the men on him.

0:20:24.990 --> 0:20:26.210
<v Speaker 1>You had no choice but to go along with it.

0:20:26.590 --> 0:20:28.230
<v Speaker 2>No choice but to go along with it because I

0:20:28.230 --> 0:20:30.109
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, I can't say no, like everyone in

0:20:30.130 --> 0:20:33.470
<v Speaker 2>the crowd is looking at me. But it was.

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.179
<v Speaker 2>It like, I will say I kind of hated it.

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Like I, I was like, oh my God, like it's camp.

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.500
<v Speaker 2>It's fun. Like he's flinging his dick in my face

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:48.379
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, but I just went, oh, I wish it

0:20:48.420 --> 0:20:51.220
<v Speaker 2>wasn't me on stage right now. Like, but, but I

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.850
<v Speaker 2>will say I went along with it because everyone was

0:20:53.890 --> 0:20:55.670
<v Speaker 2>watching and you're there to put on a show.

0:20:55.690 --> 0:20:57.810
<v Speaker 1>So maybe hypnotism.

0:20:57.190 --> 0:20:59.550
<v Speaker 2>Is the same thing. I know. Cause once I got

0:20:59.590 --> 0:21:01.470
<v Speaker 2>on stage, like, even though I was like, fuck, like,

0:21:01.510 --> 0:21:04.010
<v Speaker 2>I don't really want to be sitting on this chair,

0:21:04.109 --> 0:21:06.250
<v Speaker 2>getting a lap dance and all the rest of it

0:21:06.330 --> 0:21:09.379
<v Speaker 2>from this. Cause it was my sister's ends party. And

0:21:09.420 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 2>so I was there for that. And obviously everyone in

0:21:12.340 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the room is women, but then there's one part of

0:21:15.020 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the show where they will bring men up on stage

0:21:17.940 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 2>as like a bit of a gag or whatever. And

0:21:19.820 --> 0:21:21.360
<v Speaker 2>so I was like, okay, so this is like the funny,

0:21:21.619 --> 0:21:22.780
<v Speaker 2>so I've got to be funny. Do you know what

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.949
<v Speaker 2>I mean? And also like having the, a social presence.

0:21:25.990 --> 0:21:27.850
<v Speaker 2>Like I was like, surely someone in the crowd knows

0:21:27.910 --> 0:21:30.090
<v Speaker 2>who I am. So imagine I'm up here acting like

0:21:30.130 --> 0:21:31.820
<v Speaker 2>a wanker being like, no, I don't want this. Like

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.060
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I better get into it, you know. Oh,

0:21:34.100 --> 0:21:36.580
<v Speaker 2>then the fucking TikToks are coming out and the guy

0:21:36.619 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 2>who was doing the lap dance on stage flinging his

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.460
<v Speaker 2>dick in my face, he was posting videos of me

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.090
<v Speaker 2>and tagging me in the bloody videos. And oh, anyway,

0:21:45.109 --> 0:21:46.530
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm never going to live this down.

0:21:46.550 --> 0:21:49.909
<v Speaker 2>But thankfully those videos died very quickly. They didn't get

0:21:49.970 --> 0:21:53.570
<v Speaker 2>any traction. So that's nice. But I think it could

0:21:53.609 --> 0:21:56.409
<v Speaker 2>be the same sort of thing. Is, you know, I

0:21:56.450 --> 0:21:58.190
<v Speaker 2>went up and I was like, 500 people are looking

0:21:58.230 --> 0:21:59.929
<v Speaker 2>at me. I better give them a show.

0:22:00.190 --> 0:22:00.630
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

0:22:00.670 --> 0:22:04.030
<v Speaker 2>And so maybe the hypnotist thing is the same. But

0:22:05.109 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it's not something I'm ever interested in doing. Because as

0:22:07.390 --> 0:22:09.580
<v Speaker 2>I said in the last episode when we spoke about this, like,

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 2>just the loss of control, like, scares me. There is

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 2>no loss of control.

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:15.820
<v Speaker 1>It's not real.

0:22:15.900 --> 0:22:18.859
<v Speaker 2>Well, as I said, get a hypnotist in. They can

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.679
<v Speaker 2>do you two first and then they can do me.

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:24.020
<v Speaker 2>But also, if we're all sceptics, apparently it won't work. Exactly.

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.199
<v Speaker 1>You've got to be in front of the crowd and

0:22:25.260 --> 0:22:27.260
<v Speaker 1>in the right area.

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.740
<v Speaker 2>I'm still pissing at that episode. You know, we've had

0:22:29.780 --> 0:22:32.260
<v Speaker 2>so many people say that's our funniest episode ever.

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>We've just got to keep going better and better and better.

0:22:34.340 --> 0:22:35.580
<v Speaker 1>What are we going to do next, guys?

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:37.420
<v Speaker 3>Well, I've already got a plan.

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:38.940
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:22:40.310 --> 0:22:46.090
<v Speaker 2>More will be revealed. Also, I know this has been

0:22:46.130 --> 0:22:48.450
<v Speaker 2>weeks now, but we never spoke about the grand final.

0:22:48.930 --> 0:22:50.090
<v Speaker 2>We should have done an update on that in last

0:22:50.109 --> 0:22:50.910
<v Speaker 2>week's Close Friends.

0:22:50.970 --> 0:22:51.910
<v Speaker 1>So sad for the Knights.

0:22:51.990 --> 0:22:52.810
<v Speaker 2>So sad for the Knights.

0:22:52.930 --> 0:22:56.010
<v Speaker 1>But they still, like, the business and excitement that they

0:22:56.050 --> 0:22:58.870
<v Speaker 1>brought to Nui that week of the grand final, that's

0:22:58.910 --> 0:22:59.990
<v Speaker 1>better than a win in my eyes.

0:23:00.250 --> 0:23:02.730
<v Speaker 2>And for scrollers who don't know, which we actually never

0:23:02.810 --> 0:23:06.010
<v Speaker 2>got to when we spoke about it in that main

0:23:06.070 --> 0:23:08.580
<v Speaker 2>episode when you were really excited about the Knights, we

0:23:08.619 --> 0:23:10.930
<v Speaker 2>never even spoke about the fact that I support the

0:23:10.970 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Roosters and they were going head to head. Yeah. And, um,

0:23:14.700 --> 0:23:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm the fucking Roosters! And, um, I... Um, it's so

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:22.399
<v Speaker 2>funny cause I was looking, we're coming into summer. I

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 2>was going to buy some new swimwear. And so I

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.220
<v Speaker 2>went on budgie smuggler, never got, never bought budgie smuggler before,

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.500
<v Speaker 2>but I went, maybe I'll buy a budgie smugglers for

0:23:30.580 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 2>the summer. They're doing what they were doing. It'll be

0:23:33.660 --> 0:23:39.970
<v Speaker 2>done by this point. Um, 2026 premiership commemorative pre-order only

0:23:40.070 --> 0:23:44.490
<v Speaker 2>limited edition, Sydney roosters, budgie smugglers. And it was really tempting.

0:23:44.590 --> 0:23:47.770
<v Speaker 2>It was really tempting, but I thought, nah, better not. Um,

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Because I actually don't want Speedos. I want like briefs. Oh, yeah. No,

0:23:52.140 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I want like shorts. Like shorts. We need a market

0:23:54.780 --> 0:23:56.340
<v Speaker 2>for that. Maybe I can create that. I don't think

0:23:56.380 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 2>anyone else but me would fucking wear them. I want

0:23:58.340 --> 0:24:00.260
<v Speaker 2>the Speedos for a bit much, you know. Imagine me

0:24:00.300 --> 0:24:03.860
<v Speaker 2>in a Speedo. Sorry about that image, scrollers.

0:24:03.940 --> 0:24:04.740
<v Speaker 1>I hate Speedos.

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I hate Speedos too. I wear them. Of course

0:24:07.140 --> 0:24:09.700
<v Speaker 2>you do. I wear them. Yeah, but I think like

0:24:09.740 --> 0:24:12.500
<v Speaker 2>a little boy leg, a little short, like a little undies,

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.380
<v Speaker 2>like brief. Is that what you call it? I don't know.

0:24:15.140 --> 0:24:19.109
<v Speaker 2>I want the Sydney Roosters Premiership 2026. Limited edition pre-order

0:24:19.210 --> 0:24:21.630
<v Speaker 2>only budgie smugglers in a little short.

0:24:21.869 --> 0:24:22.310
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, cute.

0:24:22.330 --> 0:24:25.540
<v Speaker 2>That'd be nice. Can Fates Wim get on that, please?

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll add it to the to-do list.

0:24:27.780 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Lovely. We'll see you next Tuesday.
